Teacher: "Good morning! Today we are learning to write formal requests. But first, a 3-minute challenge. On your mini-whiteboards, I will show you phrases. Your task: in 30 seconds per phrase, decide if it's FORMAL (F) or INFORMAL (I). Ready? First phrase: 'Hey there!' (Waits 30 sec). Show me! Correct, it's I. Next: 'I am writing to inquire about...' (Waits). Show me! Correct, F. Next: 'Can you help us out?' (Waits). Show me! Good, I. Last one: 'We would be grateful for any assistance you could provide.' (Waits). Show me! Excellent, F. Well done! This shows we need the right tone for a formal letter." | Students listen to instructions. They write 'F' or 'I' on their mini-whiteboards and hold them up on the teacher's cue. They self-check their answers. | Formative (observation). Success descriptor: Student correctly identifies the tone (formal/informal) of at least 3 out of 4 given phrases. | Mini-whiteboards, markers, timer/projector with phrases. AI Tool: A simple AI-powered quiz generator (e.g., Quizizz, Kahoot!
